    Abstract: A check valve includes an upper housing defining an inlet of the check valve, and a lower housing having a seating portion and defining an outlet of the check valve. The check valve further includes a chamber interposed between and defined by the upper and lower housings for fluidly connecting the inlet and the outlet, and a flexible diaphragm mounted in the chamber. The flexible diaphragm selectively permits fluid flow in a first direction, and prevents fluid backflow in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The flexible diaphragm includes a color changing material, and when the flexible diaphragm is seated on the seating portion and bent due to force of the fluid flowing in the first direction, the flexible diaphragm exhibits a color change.

    Abstract: Drip chamber assemblies are described herein. A drip chamber assembly includes a drip chamber and a filter. The drip chamber includes a chamber body defining a chamber volume. The filter is disposed within the chamber volume. The filter includes a folded filter media, which defines an inlet portion of the chamber volume and an outlet portion of the chamber volume. The folded filter media permits inlet flow from the inlet portion of the chamber volume to the outlet portion of the chamber volume. The folded filter media captures particulate from the inlet flow.

    Abstract: Drip chambers, burettes and other IV set components are described herein. An IV set component described herein comprises a chamber body, an inlet portion, and a disk valve. The chamber body defines a chamber volume and an outlet. The chamber volume is in fluid communication with the outlet. The inlet portion is coupled to the chamber body, the inlet portion defining an inlet, a priming port, a drip port. The inlet is in fluid communication with the priming port and the drip port, and the priming port and the drip port are each in fluid communication with the chamber volume. The disk valve is coupled to the inlet portion. The disk valve is movable to direct flow from the inlet to the priming port in a first position and to direct flow from the inlet to the drip port in a second position.

    Abstract: Bulbs for use with an IV set are described herein. A bulb includes a bulb body and a filter. The bulb body defines an inlet, an outlet, and a bulb volume in fluid communication with the inlet and the outlet. The filter is in fluid communication with the bulb volume. The filter captures particulate from a flow from the inlet to the outlet. The bulb body is deformable to compress the bulb volume and direct back flow from the bulb volume through the filter, agitating particulate captured in the filter, unclogging the filter and allowing for more flow.
